DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail withreference to the accompanying drawings. Throughout the drawings and thedetailed description, unless otherwise described, the same drawingreference numerals will be understood to refer to the same elements,features, and structures. The relative size and depiction of theseelements may be exaggerated for clarity, illustration, and convenience.The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader ingaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses,and/or systems described herein. Accordingly, various changes,modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/orsystems described herein will be suggested to those of ordinary skill inthe art. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructionsmay be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a cap decorated with an assembly such as adecoration block or a toy may include a base block plate 10 or 10′including an assembling part 15 with which an assembly 20 such as adecoration block or a toy. The base block plate 10 or 10′ may be coupledto a head covering part 3 or a visor 5, allowing the assembly 20 such asthe decoration block or the toy to be assembled into various shapes andpatterns on the assembling part 15 of the base block plate 10 or 10′.

In this case, the base block plate 10 or 10′ may fixedly adhere to thehead covering part 3 or the visor 5 of the cap to be integrallyinstalled, or may be detachably attached to the head covering part 3 orthe visor 5.

The detachable structure of the base block plate 10 or 10′ may beconfigured into various forms. For example, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6,the base block plate 10 or 10′ may be detachably attached by a Velcrostructure, or by a combination recess and a combination protrusion whichengage with each other, or may be detachably attached by other variousstructures.

Particularly, when the base block plate 10 or 10′ is detachably attachedby the Velcro structure, Velcro fabrics 10 a, 3 a and 5 a may beprepared on the rear surface of the base block plate 10 or 10′ and thehead covering part 3 or the visor 5 of the cap to which the base blockplate 10 or 10′ is detachably attached.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the base block plate 10 may be formedinto the shape of the visor 5 of the cap. The base block plate 10 mayinclude the assembling part 15 formed on the upper part of the baseblock plate 10 and assembled with the assembly 20 such as the decorationblock or the toy, and a groove 12 formed at a lower edge of the baseblock plate 10 and press-fitted into the visor 5. The base block plate10 may be configured to detachably combine with the visor 5 in forwardand backward directions by the press-fit method.

In this case, the groove 12 of the base block plate 10 may have anarrower width at the inlet of the groove 12 than the width at theinside of the groove 12, and thus the width of the groove 12 may begradually tapered to the inlet of the groove 12. Accordingly, after thebase block plate 10 is inserted into the visor 5, the base block plate10 may elastically compress the visor 5, preventing the base block plate10 from being separated from the visor 5.

Also, the assembling part 15 of the base block plate 10 or 10′ mayinclude assembling protrusions 16 that are arranged at certain intervalsand can be assembled with the assembly 20 such as typical decorationblocks or toys. The shape of the assembling protrusions 16 may bevariously modified in accordance with the shape of the assembling partof the decoration block, and it is noted that the simple shapemodification degree of the assembling part pertains to the scope of thepresent invention.

Also, although not specifically shown in the drawings, the base blockplate 10 may be disposed on only one or both of the head covering part 3and the visor 5 of the cap. Particularly, when the cap has no visor 5,the base block plate 10 may be disposed on the head covering part 3, andthe location or the shape of the base block plate 10 may be variouslychanged.

Also, when the visor 5 of the cap has an inverted “U”-shape according tothe taste of a user as well as a flat shape as shown in the drawings,the base block plate 10 may be configured to have a flat or curvedsurface corresponding to the shape of the visor 5.

Hereinafter, the operation and action of the present inventionconfigured as above will be described.

The present invention can be utilized as a decoration, a toy, and auseful article for intelligence development by harmonizing a cap with anassembly such as a decoration block or a toy.

In other words, the base block plate 10 or 10′ may be combined with thehead covering part 3 or the visor 5, and the assembly 20 such as adecoration block or a toy may be assembled and decorated with theassembling part 15 of the base block plate 10 or 10′ in various shapesand patterns.

In this case, the base block plate 10 or 10′ may be coupled to the headcovering part 3 or the visor 5 of the cap by a fixing method or adetachable method.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, since the method of detachably attaching thebase block plate 10 or 10′ may be implemented with the Velcro structureor the combination groove and combination protrusion structure, the baseblock plate 10 can be selectively installed for use.

When the base block plate 10 is detachably attached by the Velcrostructure, the Velcro fabric 10 a on the rear surface of the base blockplate 10 may be configured to detachably attach to the Velcro fabric 3 aand 5 a prepared on the head covering part 3 or the visor 5 of the cap.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the base block plate 10 may bepress-fitted to the visor 5 of the cap. In this case, the base blockplate 10 may be press-fitted to the visor 5 by the groove formed on thelower edge of the base block plate 10.

The assembly 20 such as typical decoration blocks or toys may beassembled with the assembling part 15 on the base block plate 10 or 10′in various shapes and patterns.

Accordingly, a cap for being decorated with a decoration block or a toymay include a base block plate that can be assembled with an assemblysuch as a decoration block or toy and is integrally adhered to,detachably attached by Velcro to, or coupled by an assembly structurewith the head covering part or visor of the cap. Here, the assembly suchas the decoration block or toy may be assembled with an assembling partof the base block plate in various shapes and patterns by well-knownassembling methods for decoration, thereby allowing the cap to performdecoration and toy functions and to be useful for the intelligencedevelopment as well as to be used as a general cap.
